Never Again

The best response I've seen by anyone to the Holocaust "symposium" in Iran is by a wonderful blogger from down south, Basil. I think that us J-bloggers are too disgusted by the Niturei Karta and their kissing Ahmadenijad to rationally think about this sickening irrationality of Ahmadinejad and company. If you can stomach the post, see it. Warning: Graphic images.

Jonathan Rosenblum has an excellent post at Cross-Currents on the (now confirmed) bus incident and charedi ideals about separation. Excerpt:

I keep coming back to the same sociological insight: The more insular we are—the more cut off from any Jews not exactly like ourselves—the less we are to think of Torah in terms of hora’a, teaching, and ask ourselves how our actions comport with the teachings of the Torah and what impression our actions are making on those who will judge the Torah by our behavior.

Amen.

Have a wonderful night/morning, unless you're in Australia. Then you're just upside down.

SerandEz leans toward current issues - from politics to the Jewish community - with sports, Israel, and even Judaism thrown in. Add some comedy, fun, my own thoughts, and a bunch of my friends, and voila! SerandEz! I hope people are getting something out of it, even if it's just an interesting idea or a quick smile. Enjoy! ~ Ezzie Goldish
